The Manchesters won a game with the
Lowells yesterday at Lowell. Marsden
gave the worst exhibition Of unHiring ever
seen on the field. The decision were er-
roneous from the first. But up to the seventh
innings objected both sides equally. In the
seventh three erroneous decisions on
bases gave the Manchestels two runs. Al
though the Lowells worked hard it was i'm
led in batting but were out fielded. Doyle
was quite i'll and unable to do himself justice
At the close Of the game the crowd gathered

BRAN FOR HORSE FEED.

Bran is so light that it is popularity
believed there is little substance or
value in it. In warm mashes for COWS
it gives a great increase in the milk
yield, as every farmer knows. Most
Of them account for this, however, by
the belief that milk is so largely water,
and that the water which COWS drink
with the bran is mainly responsible
for the increased supply Of milk. But
the substance in both milk and bran
is greatly underestimated. Milk. even
after its cream is removed, is a very
nourishing food, and its nutriment is
Of the kind that the bran is peculiarly
adapted to supply. 1t supplies the
proteine which appears in the albumen
Of milk. Precisely the same kind Of
materials are required to give strength
to working horses. Those who feed
bran to. horses largely are most in
favor Of it. One Of it's advantages is
in keeping the horse from becoming
constipated on dry feed and grain. 1t
is a cheap and valuable feed for horses
at any time, and especially while
changing their coats in the spring

A WIFE.

The farmer came in from the field one day.
His languid steps and his weary way.
His Bonded brow and his slnewy hand,
All showing his work for the good of the land:
For he sOWS,
And he hoes,
And he m0Ws.
All for the good of the land.
BY the kitchen fire stood his patient wife.
Light OF his home and Joy of his life,
With face all aglOw and busy hand.
Preparing the meal for the husbands band:
For she must boil
And she must brOil.
And she must toll,
All for the sake of the home.
She shines bright when the farmer goes out,
Birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about,
The brook babhles softly in the glen,
While he brayely works for the good of the men
For he sOWs.
And he hoes.
And he mOWS.
All for the good of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about Within
The dishes TO wash and the milk to skim.
The fire goes out and flies buzz about
For dear ones at home her heart is kept stout;
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake
Aud steps to take,
All for the sake OF the home.
Then the day is ore and the evening has come.
The creatures are fed and the milking is done;
He takes his rest meath the old shade tree.
From the toll Of the land thoughts are free:
Though he SOWs.
And he hoes.
And he mOWs,
He rests from the work Of the land.
But the faithful wife. from sun to sun,
Takes the burden up that's never done;
There Is no rest. there Is DO pay,
For the household good she must work away:
For to mend the frOck.
And 10 knit the sock.
And the cradle 10 rock.
All for the good Of the home.
When the autumn is here with chilling blasts.
The farmer gathers his crop at last:
His barns are full his fields are bare.
For the good of the land he mere hath care
While it blows
And it SHOWS,
Till the winter goes.
He rests from the work Of the land.
But the willing wife. till life's closing day.
Is the children and the husbands stay:
From day to day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her rest:
For after the test
Come the rest.
With the bleSt.
In the farmers heavenly home.

coating is readily acted upon by water,
forming a poisonous oxide Of zinc.
Honey sometimes has an onion
flavor, from the bees gathering from
fields of onion seeds. If allowed to
set a few weeks the unpleasant flavor
will O. pass off.
If the stove is cracked, take wood
ashes and salt, equal proportions, re-
duced to a paste with cold water, and
fill in the cracks when the stove is cool.
It will soon harden.
A remedy for catarrh is to gather
hops when perfectly dry, and sift the
pollen OF "hour' through Swiss mus
lin. Use as a snuff early in the morn
ing or on retiring at night.
1t is said that in canning fruit. after
the jar is filed, if the fruit is stirred
with a spoon that reaches the bottom
of the Jar, until all the air bubbles rise
to the top the contents will never
mould on top.
For bunions get five cents worth of
saltpetre and put it into a bottle with
sufficient olive oil to nearly dissolve it.;
shake up we'll and rub the inhamed
joints night and morning, and more
frequently if painful.
A starch superior to gloss starch for
calico and chambrey can be made Of
flour, by wetting the -four up with
very warm water a day before you need
the starch; add boiling water and cook
when you want to use it.
To keep moths out Of closets, clothes
and carpets, take green tansy. 1t is
better before it goes to seed. Put it
around the edges of carpets and hang
it up in closets where woollen clothes
are hung, and no moth will ever come
where it is.
To prevent pie juice from running
out in the oven, make a little opening
in the upper crust and insert a little
roll of brown paper perpendicularly.
The steam will escape from it as from
a chimney, and all the juice will be
retained in the pie.
A store closet opening from the
kitchen keeps the atmosphere dry and
articles are less liable to gather damp
ness and mould. A cool and dry place
is indispensable for a store-room. A
small window over the door secures
GOODNESS and fresh air.
A carpet, particularly a dark carpet,
often looks dusty when it does not
need sweeping; wiring out a sponge
quite dry in water IA few drops of am
monia help brighten the color), and
wipe off the dust from the carpet.
This saves much labor in sweeping.

HINTS TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS.

A much-worn broom is hard on the
carpet.
If possible, keep n utencil sacred
to onions alone.
Clean soft water and pure fresh air
are excellent cleansing agents. Use
them freely.
Breathing the fumes of terpentine
or carbolic acid is said to relieve
whooping-cough,
Clam broth is said to be excellent
for a weak stomach, and ginger ale for
stomach cramps.
Do not allow the spice boxes to be-
come disorderly. Have each division
carefully labelled and permit no mix
inc of the contents.
To take grease spots out of clothing
wet them thoroughly in ammonia
water, then lay white soft paper over
it and iron with a hot iron.
Galvanized iron pals for drinking
water should not be used. The zinc

Here IS a point seemingly little
thought about, although a very impor-
tant one. Should you wish to visit an
invalid, eat a lunch and go. Should
you be admitted into the sick room,
go, but make your stay short, saying
nothing but what will be beneficial to
the sick. Don't stay as SO many do,
till they are entirely worn out with a
train of nothings gone over by you,
and wish you to 60 away and never to
return. Remember a sick person is
mot like a we'll person, and persons
waiting on the sick are generally wor
out and have enough to do without
waiting on you; so go after eating, and
go home before the next meal, telling
the cook when you 60 your intentions,
unless you can be of use. If so, do
what you can in the best possible way,
then unless they request you to stay
longer, your place is not there. Visits
and sickness do not go together unless
there are two or three hired girls to
wait on folks and nothing else to do.
But this is a little expensive, and it
seems to me if we can't make it suit to
90 between meals to visit the sick, we
had better stay away; for [ have so
often heard from the cook these words,
or similar: "Oh! [ am tired Of wait
ing on visitors who wont turn a hand
at anything.
Ny work would be light were it not
for so many coming in just at meal
time, causing me SO much extra work,
just to eat and 60 again, pretending
to visit the sick" Such as these, [
can assure you, you are not welcome.
Now there are exceptions; persons com
ing from quite a distance are excusable,
but they should be ready to do more
than your trouble.
I have attended the sick bed quite a
good bit, and have been perfectly dis
gusted at humanity, or the greater
part of it. On one occasion [ remem-
Der [ went to attend the sick, and once
just as supper was being prepared for
the family, in stepped a couple, caus-
ing considerable trouble, stayed until
after supper, then almost Immediately
after without offering to help in the
least) offered excuse for not coming
sooner, and sorry they could not stay
